Driving irresponsibly can lead to car accidents and harm to those involved. Personally, I have not been involved in any sort of motor vehicle related accidents. However, I have observed family members driving irresponsibly. With this observation I fully grasp the possible results, or consequences, of driving irresponsibly. In order to not receive the same consequences, I have consistently practiced driving safely. I have received education on how to drive safely in order to prevent any possible accidents in the future. Additionally, I follow any sort of driving laws and follow any laws that pertain to substances that could impair my driving. While those are the steps, I take in order to be a safe driver, people should assist those around them and help them become safe drivers as well. Furthermore, in order to helps other drive responsibly people should look out for their peers and prevent them from driving if impaired. People should call out their peers irresponsible driving and educated them on the proper ways to drive. These actions could possibly prevent those around you from being involved in a driving accident.
